<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Monckton,_3rd_Viscount_Monckton_of_Brenchley">Christopher Monckton</a>, the self-celebrating Third Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, toured Canada and the <span class="caps">U.S.</span> last year calling the world’s best climate scientists and activists “liars” for setting out their concerns about the dangers of climate change. In his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stij8sUybx0">presentations</a> and his <a href="http://www.docstoc.com/docs/13460116/Lord-Christopher-Moncktons-Power-Point-Bethel-University--Global-Climate-Change-Conference-Oct-14-2009">PowerPoints</a>, Monckton was graceless and taunting in tone, making fun of Al Gore’s accent along with his science. The record now shows that Monckton was also wrong - and frankly, wrong is such a way that he himself must be found to be either a flagrant and shameless liar or the most incompetent compiler of information since church scholars gathered to argue for the flatness of the earth.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://courseweb.stthomas.edu/jpabraham/global_warming/Monckton/index.htm">new critique</a> was assembled by John P. Abraham, an engineering professor at St. Thomas University in St. Paul Minnesota. A diligent - even painstaking - researcher, Abraham is also unreservedly respectful in his own presentation, giving Monckton the benefit of every doubt.</p>
<p>The facts, however, are less accommodating. As Prof. Abraham demonstrates time and again, Monckton has consistently misinterpreted, misrepresented or flat-out lied about his “evidence” arguing against the theory of human-induced global warming. He has mangled references, misrepresented findings, cobbled together unattributed graphs and staked his case to <a href="http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/personfactsheet.php?id=860">critically compromised scholars</a>.<!--break--></p>
<p>Monckton has already <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/christopher-monckton-copenhagen-i-will-not-shake-hand-hitler-youth">revealed himself</a> as someone whose capacity to be antisocial goes well beyond mere rudeness. This new presentation should be required viewing for anyone who regards him as even vaguely credible on climate science. <a href="http://courseweb.stthomas.edu/jpabraham/global_warming/Monckton/index.htm">Take the time</a>: you will find he is anything but.</p></div></div></div><!-- iCopyright Horizontal Tag -->
